It is an issue that lasted a week at most. It actually was such a non issue that it wasn’t even picked up as a bug report. Dude just had the absolute worst timing in the world. If he had waited a couple days or updated the systems again then, he wouldn’t have even noticed.

This is the worst case escenario being amplified and showcase as the typical OOB experience. There’s a reason benchmarks are such a niche in content creation, specially when the audience knows way more than the creator about the subject matter. When people like nexus exist, it is a risky business.

I get that he was going for his typical silly and goofy vibe, but he missed the mark. Shouldn’t have tried to showcase this results at all. It’s like saying to showcase the out of the box experience of a new car and getting hung up that the car ran out of fuel on the highway. Like, fueling is the bare minimum a car requires out of the dealership. Drivers check and install is the bare minimum every gaming computer requires on a fresh install. Not even windows can do gaming without installing proprietary drivers first. It is disingenuous. I love this bloke but he should stick to pouring extraneous liquids into oil pans in cars, he completely misread the benchmark audience.

This was said only about the Linux side. Apparently he did install the drivers manually on Windows, but not on Linux. (Windows doesn’t come with drivers for the 1080ti either and they have to be manually installed, e.g.) So it isn’t comparing oobe. One system was tinkered with and the other wasn’t.

Also, there’s a hypothesis that he downloaded bazzite images during a very brief period when they weren’t included in the legacy image yet. The drivers went out of support in December and there was a window of adjustment in the packaging. If he were to do it all again today, the results would be radically different. This was an exercise in futility and an utter waste of time.

You’re defending a guy that used nutella as engine oil for lulz. This is not serious at all.

Not really, went to the video comment section itself. And it seems like he took the time to install drivers on Windows. But did not do so on Linux. For half of the computers the GPU wasn’t even on. The whole thing is an exercise in futility and an utter waste of time. It does not compare out of the box experiences at all. It is disingenuous and poorly made. It is fun when he is burning headphones for entertainment, but these are as serious benchmarks as his fuel economy and car performance test. It is just an idiot spouting hot air. It means nothing.

It’s not a bug. If you install an NVIDIA dedicated bazzite image, this doesn’t happen. I suspect he just booted a hard drive with a fresh install of the wrong bazzite image without the NVIDIA drivers. User error a million percent, since bazzite doesn’t even let you download the installer until you tell the website exactly where are you installing it.

Did he actually install a (correct) bazzite image to each machine or did he just swap hard drives? Because that matters.

There’s half a dozen different versions of bazzite and bazzite installers. Each for different use cases. All that allows automated driver installs, but how you got there makes a difference. Swapping a hard drive to a new machine might make the NVIDIA drivers just not be there (because it was installed using an image for AMD GPUs). It will boot and the OS will work, but it will not use the graphics card appropriately.

There’s three types of NVIDIA failures on Linux:

A- The niche thing that doesn’t work for the group of people who use it.

B- The specific card model that doesn’t work.

C- The distro that for some reason is a nightmare to install the drivers.

Each motive individually is not a lot of people, but all together it is way much more than AMD. Hence the difference.

Also, if you have a type A failure card, there’s a probability that maybe it will be fixed eventually. But for type B, you’re out of luck. There’s a non-zero chance that your card will never work.

Type C is entirely up to user error and distro effort. But it won’t help with type A and B. If NVIDIA of fails you, whether you can install the drivers on your distro or not, is irrelevant.

Someone put a connection to an LLM on a Teddy Bear so kids could have natural conversations with the toy. It started making sexual innuendos and creepy political commentaries and suggestions to children almost right away.

Read the article. That is not what is happening.

This problem stems from the way OneDrive handles synchronization between the cloud and a user’s local system. Disabling OneDrive Backup without explicitly restoring or relocating local copies can, in some cases, result in files being removed from both environments.

Pargin noted that the only way to remove files from OneDrive without also deleting them from the local machine is to follow a detailed, step-by-step guide “There is no intuitive way to do it,” he said, accusing Microsoft of deliberately burying the necessary controls deep within menus.

It is a dark pattern, it is meant to scare or annoy the users into paying a subscription or leave the system as is. There’s exactly one cloud service that deletes all files without warning as soon as it is disabled. There’s only one service that deletes local files without telling the users, there’s only one service that deletes both originals and cloud files when disabled, and it is only OneDrive. Every other service warns users and give grace periods for the users to download their data before deleting the files for good. It is absolutely not the user’s fault.

At work they forbade the use of one drive. It literally was consuming hundreds of terabytes of data and many more on bandwidth because they activated auto sync on thousands of laptops after an update without telling anyone. It was synching entire hard drives of confidential information without our consent. By the time our IT realized, they were trying to charge us for it (web do have SharePoint on azure). Turns out there’s some you can disable by group policy, but the shit is so embedded that it cannot be completely turned off. So they are just instructing workers how to avoid it now and warning everyone that, although we do have a quota per install of one drive, any loss of data is the worker liability as we are being told not to use it. Microsoft is such a joke.

We are facing similar issues with copilot by the way.

Still xenophobic. And your source is very open that it has selection bias and aggregation methodological issues. Essentially, it describes how migration as an aggregate, all across the world seems to function, disregarding individual peculiarities, within the people they managed to access. Migration from India to the UK doesn’t function the same as migration from Lybia to France, or Mexico to the USA and most definitely not from Venezuela to the myriad of counties the diaspora has found themselves in.

Poor immigrants do not account in this data, as they weren’t interviewed, are the most likely to be undocumented, and thus avoid attention and refuse interviews the most. It also most definitely ignores the peculiarities of Venezuelan migration. It might inform some political decision makers on a very broad and vague way. But it is an extraordinarily narrow, incomplete and impractical understanding of the issue.

Oh yes, the 7.9 million wealthy millionaires that…walked through a deadly jungle… to get to the US.

Please, Lemmy, stop trying to talk about Venezuelans as if you know shit. You don’t know jack.

Also, this post is extremely xenophobic, racist and classicist, the fact that mods let it stand is a shame.

It sounds like you’re trying to do too much manual stuff. Anything self-hosted is rather complex by default. But, it is designed to be simple to manage and install, as long as you use the tools intended for it. Jellyfin is packaged in all sorts of ways, and each way aims at different use cases. If it’s going to run on your daily driver, best use docker to keep your desktop and the server separated, else it might complain of that sort of library compatibility issues.

Cool, the best AI has to offer is worse than the worst human code. Definitely worth burning the planet to a crisp for it.

I dare to wage that the top 1000 most popular artists entire body of work is already freely available in torrent form. The remainder of artists will benefit from an independent archival point of view.

Yeah, I would say that magic spells, in English and other languages, are more traditionally associated with rhymes than specific words. Latin associated to magic is through catholic ritualist use of Latin. Even then, it was more about repeating prayer phrases, like in stereotypical exorcism or funeral rites. Gothic novels, for example, straight up used catholic prayer in Latin to convey magical intent. But it was not vaudeville magic or modern day superpower magic like in pop culture.

It is a Vice article. It has the journalistic credibility of a dirty wet wipe.

Edit: Lol, the source is an off the cuff remark of Mike Straw on a podcast. The same Dude has been teasing this news of an alleged leak since November and produced not a single shred of evidence while being an asshat on xitter about it at the same time. This is not the first time this guy speculates over future games and is taken out of context by fans.

If we were talking about the ethnic music of an extinct tribe that uses a language on risk of disappearing, sure, you would be right.

But think about it for a bit longer. They are just a commercial production that had no cultural impact in a population. They are still getting preserved in a format with a quality degradation that is imperceptible to the human ear. That’s usually enough. Audiophiles are usually overzealous about fidelity preservation. But the efforts are often misguided and discussions abound on technical topics that ultimately don’t matter.

Gay communities are not all the same around the world. It kind of is part of the problem, grindr applies an insensitive one size fits all model. US gay culture prevalent in grindr pushes promiscuity, distorted body images and sex centered stereotypes. It used to be that the app was simply a proximity chat with basic profiles. This was a safe haven for gay men in homophobic cultures that needed a way to identify, contact and interact with other gay men without fear of violence or discrimination. Yes, it was about sex, but it was about sex as a reactionary channel for frustrated desires for human contact and emotional connection.

Today it is so enshittified and has added so many anti features that it has shifted to be the opposite. It has turned into a harassment machine, that frustrates and enrages users in an attempt to make them pay money for premium features, that used to be free, or get rid of the new ones that nobody uses. Which signals users to be and act even worse to each other in order to circumvent the exploiting anti features.

Then it also pushes things like penis size obsession, high risk multipartner encounters and unprotected sex, with a high dose of body shaming on the side. All that while showing an ad every 3 seconds (I’m not exaggerating). Without mentioning that it has always been a privacy nightmare, a vector for minor’s abuse, sex work and drug trafficking. With the app owners never doing anything of value to actually protect the users. Grindr has gotten kids and adults raped and murdered before. But it promotes PRep (in countries where the drug is banned because homophobia), so, yay!

It’s not sex in return for data, more like “you get sex, you lose confidence and any sense of self-worth, we will also show you ads every 3 seconds.”
